Brianna Wu / John Flynt - Original Thread

[Cynical]

I got bored and decided to see what sort of sad cucks would throw their money at Brianna Wu, and look what I found:

https://www.patreon.com/cxarli

This sad bastard is one of Wu's hardline white knights who also supports a lot of Wu's fellow scam artists.

https://www.patreon.com/moviebob1?ty=h

Moviebob. Notice, he makes 1 grand MORE than Wu.

https://www.patreon.com/INeedDivGms?ty=h

Some SJW bleeding heart who supports diverse games even though Wu's game features a bunch of lily white protagonists.

https://www.patreon.com/user?u=70041

Some stupid Briton who also throws his money at Zoe Quinn.

https://www.patreon.com/zoe?ty=h

Speaking of Chelsea von Valkenburg, she also does a few hundred bucks better than Wu. Note how she basically admits most of the money goes towards her frivolous bullshit, so people aren't paying for the product, they are providing her pocket change for stupid shit.

https://www.patreon.com/wjlroe

Another dumbass Briton funding SJW causes

https://www.patreon.com/wrackune

Another one of Wu's Twitter acolytes, supports a lot of SJW scam artists including hack journalist Nora Reed.

https://www.patreon.com/norareed?ty=h

Speaking of the lying shill piece writer, her Patreon is laughable:

https://www.patreon.com/user?u=387128

Some lard tub who's supporter list reads like "Internet Hucksters.txt"

Isn't zoe quinn rich enough not to work? Who the fuck would give her money?

You know the fact these people donate to each other makes me wonder if they honestly think what they're doing is actual work or that they're actual activists that need funding.

I really wonder if they don't think they're con artists but instead believe what they're doing is living the life of a typical activist. It would be like calling rush limbaugh a right wing activist.

Yippee. Want me to throw confetti, John?

[MEDIA=twitter]636312376665604097[/MEDIA]

Uhh, don't you have something else to do, Wu? Like working on a game or something? Crazy idea, I know.

 

[Cynical]

Bitch please, your solyent slurping ass is probably weaker than him:


I also see John is being a dumbshit and burning tweets again despite knowing we save everything, but I got it all Tweetsaved.

And LOL:


Ragging a woman about her age, you're such a sensitive "lady", Flynt:


Jealousy does not become you John, it just makes you look like a faggot:

Wasting over 9000 hours in Peggle and Destiny sure gave you a huge head huh, Wu?
Also, can someone give me a context of what that stupid parking tweet's all about?

 

[Sanae Kochiya]

[MEDIA=twitter]636009183272398848[/MEDIA]
It's all basically at the point of self-parody now, isn't it?

Halo Reach
Fallout
Dragon Age
Mass Effect
Touhou
The Elder Scrolls
Fire Emblem Awakening
Final Fantasy VI

All games that have (or can have) a strong female protagonist that is not objectified in any way.

... Oh, did you mean a game exclusively starring only female empowerment because lul so feminist?

(Well for starters still Touhou) but that seems remarkably sexist from the OTHER direction. They are aware that women being sexist towards men is still wrong, right? Or does it not count because they're women?

Some of the recent tweets are really mundane as hell. I'm more curious as to why Brianna is trying to push this video game shark tank show. She wouldn't do it unless she thought there was something in it for her. A spot on the show, a credit, even just a connection to a producer if the show actually got picked up. Something.

 

[Sanae Kochiya]

She might be one of the people judging the games or she might have financially backed the show in some way.

Wu doesn't do shit unless it has some direct benefit to her.

My thoughts exactly. Wu's star is fading, and he can't get asspats without hearing mean words except on SJW hugbox sites, and since Wu NEEDS mainstream exposure but can't get it anymore without *shudder* people actually asking questions instead of listening and believing, he's settling for the next worst thing: being seen as an authority figure so he still has some cred even if R60 goes to hell.

Problem is, no widely accepted video game biz is gonna touch Wu with a ten foot pole, and when Wu burned that tweet about how his shilling got a lot of responses, it confirmed to me Wu was seeing if that plan was viable and shredded evidence when he realized it was blowing up in his face.

Basically, John is desperately trying to find a parachute before the plane crashes, and all he's finding are ones with holes.

I bet she wants on the show of course.

Yep, a tweet like that does indeed mean that John drank a whole bottle of Drambuie.

 

[Peace and Harmony]

Yep, so he took a Twitter break so that he could recharge his batteries and be the same cringe-inducing bitch as always. Got it. How's the game coming along, John?

 

[A Random]

They are aware that women being sexist towards men is still wrong, right? Or does it not count because they're women?

It doesn't count because prejudice coming from someone without 'power' is still not a true sexism. It's why all those rich, white women who still use daddy's money are totally not sexist towards hard-working family men when they snap pics of their spread legs over subway seats that aren't being used, according to themselves [nevermind men just open their legs some at all].

 

[Cucky]

There's no fucking way he's a judge, zero. If he is then it isn't a show about games or game development, then it's a show about muh womyn gaymes and that shit won't fly with a broad audience. As for John "financially backing" it, no. He couldn't back a lemonade stand at this point.

It's probably just him trying to get his womyn followers to submit games to the show. Sometimes it's simple.

If you really want to go down the rabbit hole though the reason is one of two things. Either someone in the feminist circlejerk is working on the show or John's trying to add to the narrative.

I don't think the subject of Frank's ex-wife ever came up here. Back in September, Frank made a Zoepost of his own about her.

I've debated whether to write this, and whether to post it. Eventually I decided that (to borrow a slogan from LGBT activists), that SILENCE = DEATH. HuffingtonPost is running a series on domestic abuse, with the theme of: Why didn't you just leave? This strikes a deep chord with me because:
The year I spent married to Alison McBain was the more horrific year of hell of my life.
Alison McBain is the most despicable, disgusting, deceitful, foul and vile human being I have ever known.
Time for me to speak up and not hide the truth or the hurt.
She bit me once, leaving a mark that took four months to go away.
She shoved me out of the house once, into the cold darkness, without shoes or jacket or wallet or money.
She used to call me up at work and yell at me so loud I could hold the phone at arm's length and still hear her clearly.
She destroyed two of my paintings.
She said she was a better artist than me, because she once noticed a flaw in one of my paintings. Yes, she was a better artist, despite never having done a painting in her life.
She took credit for me winning my first Hugo. I only won, she said, because she'd help throw a couple parties for me at conventions and not because, well, I'd done art that people liked.
I bought her flowers once, out of the blue, and her response was to accuse me of having an affair, because in her world people only did nice things if they were hiding a crime or feeling guilty (I wasn't having an affair, of course).
She twisted every compliment I received into an insult.
She grabbed the glasses off my face and twisted them into a weird metal knot.
I poked her once in jest with a very slow-moving, very soft pillow and then she proceeded to tell everyone that I "hit" her. (That justified her biting me.)
Why did I marry her?
Because I was stupid and in love. And because I was yet unfamiliar with the term Borderline Personality Disorder, wherein a new boyfriend/girlfriend at first acts all loving and wonderful, and then a switch is thrown and they turn into a monster. Yup, that was her.
Why did I stay? Because I didn't want the shame of getting divorced. Because maybe I thought that I could be like Luke Skywalker, fishing the good out of Darth Vader. Or maybe I thought I could just tough it out.
We met at worldcon in 2003, and since we split (she eventually left me, thank God, telling more lies about me on her way out), and then left the community.
But now it seems like she's edging back into the sci-fi community, writing, going to conventions again. If she shows up at a convention I'm at, I will be compelled to call the police or inform the convention security of her insane and violently unpredictable behavior. She is dangerous.
I'll warn you now. If you see her, run far far away. She is fucking evil incarnate.

Alison became aware of this in January, and wrote a response:

I have an ex-husband named Frank Wu. When we married, I was 24 years old and he was 39. I was young and naive, and he was very manipulative. That, at least, has not changed.

For years after our divorce, his words rang in my ears - he told me in private that my writing was horrible, that I was no good, that I was shit. He let his friends talk down to me and call me abusive names. When I left him, he gave my phone number to his friends so they could call me up and shout abuse at me. In public, he would be all smiles, but in private was a different story. You want to talk about scars? I have a burn mark on my back that I covered up with a tattoo. I didn't want to talk about my first marriage, didn't want to carry that pain with me, so I tried to erase it.

When I was with him, I had just started writing for publication. However, he eroded all of my self-confidence and I stopped writing. For years after our marriage ended, I didn't write because I didn't want to be involved in that world and accidentally cross paths with him.

Only recently have I decided that what he did back then doesn't have to hold me back now. I decided to write again - that I wouldn't live in fear of him or what he could say. I decided this because of my current husband, who has been nothing but supportive and loving of my dreams.

I guess I was wrong about Frank. He made a very public post about me in September: https://archive.today/69Qmn. I just discovered it today because people are tweeting it. I am adding the link here so you can read it. Because I want you to read the outrageous things he is saying, and to know that what he is saying is BULLSHIT.

I am not going to stoop to his level of verbal abuse and lies. I am only going to defend myself with facts. He was 15 years my senior. He was older than me, taller than me, outweighed me. When I left - and yes, I was the one to leave - he came up to my parents' house, trying to get me back. When he wouldn't leave me alone, I moved across the country to get away from him. Then he showed up at my sister's apartment in New York City where I was staying while I got my feet under me - he talked his way past the manager by saying he was my husband, and being very persuasive that I would want to see him - and I opened the door to her apartment to find him waiting inside. Let me say, it was not a good surprise to think I was going to a safe space, only to find him waiting for me. So I cut all ties with my old friends, worried they would give him information about me. I changed my number because I was getting phone messages from his friends telling me I was a piece of shit - basically repeating everything he had told me for the year we were together. And then when I had done all that - left my whole life behind - the nightmare, I thought, was over.

My current husband and I are approaching our six-year anniversary. We have two beautiful children. It was my husband who convinced me to stop being afraid to write, to send my stuff out there. It was he who convinced me that nothing bad would happen to me. I tried to tell him that he didn't know my ex-husband and how vindictive and manipulative he was when we were together. I was afraid, but I decided to do it anyway, because I had my husband's loving support.

Let me ask you - what sort of woman runs away across the country, changes her phone number and cuts ties with all of her friends because SHE is the abuser? What sort of man publicly posts such outrageous shit about his ex-wife in a public forum? Yeah, I thought so.

I don't want to live in fear anymore. So, Frank Wu, take your lies and shove them. You can't manipulate me. And you can't hurt me anymore, either.

And Brianna's response completely left out the fact that Frank shot first: http://spacechannel6.com/post/109011637543/frank-wu-is-awesome-and-gamergate-should-leave

Just another example of "it's okay when we do it."

 

[vertexwindi]

How's the game coming along, John?

Game?

 

[Sarcastic Username]

We don't really know which side is which in that story. A few people assert that they know Frank is in the wrong, but they don't say how they know that.

I recommend people don't latepost this.

This thread is now over 500 pages, bringing Wu into the realm of top 20 lolcows we've discussed, and a lot of facts tend to get buried. Periodic refreshers are all right.


ADDED BONUS TIME:

When Wu started her Patreon, it got a one-time $10,000 donation (Wu claimed), pushing it to around $13,500 for a bit. This was fairly obviously an attempt to make Wu's Patreon seem more impressive than it actually was at launch, because when it first went up that little bump made it so that she looked like she got way more support than Quinn, Maddie Brice, MovieBob, et al. After her battery of "CHASED FROM MY HOME" tweets, she was at about $5,000 a month before the news that Brianna never left her home and was a fucking nutjob started to properly metastasize. Cut to about 9 months later, and she's bled support to the tune of around $2,000 a month. Wu's gleaned about $50,000 from Patreon alone, but the loss of patrons that's come alongside her loss of credibility has been devastating to her Patreonbux; she'd have well over $62,000 had her patrons not decided to fuck off - an almost 27% drop-off! This is all hard-and-fast number crunching mind you, but the general figures are as follows:

1. Wu starts off Patreon; gets 10,000 bump; $13,500 average at end of month 1
2. Wu's Patrons hit apogee; Wu averages 5,000/month for about 2 months
3. Wu loses credibility - and about $1,000 over the course of another month
4. Wu's losses gradually roll upwards from there, reaching about $2,000/month by May
5. These losses, as a general estimate (and being generous towards Wu) mean she's lost about $4,000 in the $1,000/month bleed-offs and $8,000 from the $2,000/month bleed offs.

 

[unclestryker]

Wu got caught in the MTV article comment section trying to do damage control and btfo every time. Faggot needs to learn to step away from the internet. Flint was in every comment in the comments section.

Unless this was one of you guys. But I don't know.

 

[TheMonkeyMan]

We don't really know which side is which in that story. A few people assert that they know Frank is in the wrong, but they don't say how they know that.

I agree, but I still think that Frank's Facebook post was inappropriate and it's hypocritical to be okay with it and denounce the Zoepost. The right thing for Frank to do would have been to keep quiet.

And I searched this thread and Alison McBain only came up once, in passing. I see nothing wrong with posting about something that happened a while ago that slipped through the cracks here.
